Guild Wars launched 20 years ago, starting a franchise that's helped shape the #MMORPG genre. On Dec 3, Guild Wars Reforged launches! ✅ Steam Deck verified 🎮 Controller support ✨ Visual updates and more! 🔗 www.guildwars2.com/news/announc... #GuildWarsReforged #GuildWars20
It really does take a village to make the stories in Tyria that you all get to experience. Although I was not directly involved in this expansion's launch release (look for my handiwork in quarterly story content next year!) it is clear how passionate and dedicated this team is. VoE is 🔥🔥🔥❤️❤️❤️🦖
Now that Visions of Eternity has shipped and folks have had some healthy time to dive in and explore Castora, I want to give a big shoutout to the story team. I’m so proud of what we’ve built and where we’re going. This is a special one. 🍍 #GuildWars2 #VisionsofEternity

I mean just look at this! Hitman was so much fun, but they've added a strong narrative and big set piece moments?! Hell yes! www.youtube.com/live/pwRpK8e...
I think the saving and loading feature of the updated homesteads might finally be what gets me to use mine. (Read: I'm lazy and will be pilfering everyone else's layouts). 😆 www.pcgamer.com/games/mmo/bi...
Fancy doors are all the rage across the Mists right now. I blame Mad King Thorn, the originator of the "fancy door' in Tyria. Halloween *is* right around the corner...🎃
We're introducing a new way to customize your conjured doorway for your homestead! Express your creativity with the Crystal Rune Conjured Doorway and its four dye channels. Make it your own! www.guildwars2.com/news/crystal...

OMG 💯 this. One of the key things that I tried to instill in my students was the importance of a collaborative mindset & demonstrating that you really enjoy the process of creative energy coming from the team. Even if you are full of great ideas, they mean nothing if you can't get the team on board.
This is amazing. One of our incredible voices actors is doing a great new player guide for GW2. Love ya, Poky! youtu.be/jzOk5mL0G9U?...
